Drone test area
Drones have multiple interesting applications in an urban environment. They can be used in, for example, new kinds of transport activities, security and guarding applications, maintenance monitoring, access control and supporting rescue services or even the condition monitoring of telephone and electricity networks.
Several companies and research institutions that develop drone technology and applications operate in the Tampere region. Drones open new business opportunities locally, in Finland and even globally. The Hiertämö facility in Hiedanranta is provided for the temporary use of drone operators to support the development of drone technology and testing activities.
